Synopsis

As leaders, how we are is as important as what we do. The second edition of this leadership classic, updated with new chapters, shows how to master the inner and outer work needed to build relationships that unleash the transformational creative potential in everyone.

Top-down, one-dimensional leadership models are hopelessly outmoded in today's rapidly changing world. And they waste the leadership ability present throughout an organization, not just at the top. In the second edition of this visionary book, Karen and Henry Kimsey-House provide a model that harnesses the possibility of many rather than relying on the power of one.

This new edition is updated with two additional chapters, one offering new ways to utilize the Co-Active Leadership Model and another that goes deeply into the Co-Active philosophy that drives the authors' approach. Each of the five dimension chapters is expanded to incorporate feedback, new language, case studies, and practical suggestions for practice and development.

Co-active leadership is a deeply collaborative approach, but the last of its five dimensions focuses on the individual: leading from within. We must be fully present and live with integrity, openheartedness, and self-awareness if we are to make the kind of conscious, creative choices co-active leadership demands.

I have a very small list of critical books on leadership development, which I use as references and regularly recommend or provide to others who appear serious about growing in their leadership journey.

Goodreads review by Lisa on September 19, 2015

The most effective leaders aren’t those that are loud, extroverted, and attention seeking at every turn. Diverse leaders come in all shapes, sizes, background, and experience. I’ve always thought that we are all leaders, it just depends on our role in the moment or perhaps what we are passionate abo......more

Goodreads review by GateGypsy on February 05, 2017

I read this book so fast, and then I read it again -- like five more times in the next few days. Part of that, I admit, is because it was the only audio book I had saved on my phone at the time and I had a lot of commuting to do, but more of that is because *I really found what it had to say useful......more

Goodreads review by Michele on February 02, 2016

I really liked this short little "leadership" book. Yes, it IS a leadership book, but one I think everyone should read so don't be put off by the title. This is an important non-traditional way to look at leadership. The authors' model contains 5 facets: Leader Within, Leader in Front, Leader Behind......more

Goodreads review by Mara on February 23, 2016

The model and concepts are ok. The book just felt surface level. Felt like it wanted to radically change common leadership yet didn't give the depth on how or why we should.......more
